I highly recommend it!"

--Judith Orloff, M.D., author of Second Sight

"In a true tour de force, Dr. Larry Dossey articulates a compelling vision of the future of health and healing that incorporates and harnesses the "nonlocal" power of spiritual beliefs and practices. Ranging from basic research to compelling individual anecdotes, Reinventing Medicine leads all of us one giant step further in our professional and personal evolution."

--Kenneth R. Pelletier, Ph.D., M.D.(hc), Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine, author of Sound Mind, Sound Body

"Larry Dossey has written the blueprint for the new medicine of the 21st century. Dr. Dossey's vision is for a medical system that relies on the synergy of scientific reason as well as the psycho-spiritual dimensions of every human being. The Hippocratic Oath states "I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art.' Dr. Dossey brings this wisdom of the ancients to the practice of modern medicine. His approach will finally give balance and harmony to a medical system which has become increasingly bureaucratic and impersonal. Reinventing Medicine is a deeply personal and inspiring book that brings true healing to both body and soul."

--Mitchell L. Gaynor, M.D., Director of Medical Oncology, Strang Cancer Prevention Center

"Dr. Dossey captures our imagination in recounting modern medicine's rediscovery of non-local consciousness. Reinventing Medicine illuminates a path towards spiritual fulfillment, a missing ingredient often preventing happiness and health."

--Mehmet Oz, M.D., author of Healing from the Heart, heart surgeon, Columbia University

"In Reinventing Medicine, Larry Dossey reminds us that we may be far more than we currently believe we are. In this beautifully written, scholarly and profound book, he frees us to move beyond the boundaries of our thinking and enables us to reclaim a power and wholeness greater than we have ever dreamed. A book for everyone who has ever wondered about who we really are and what we might become."

--Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., author of Kitchen Table Wisdom

"Reinventing Medicine is sheer inspiration grounded in impeccable science. Larry Dossey has once again written a stunning book that will change the way medicine is practiced while helping each of us live life fully and joyfully right now."

--Christiane Northrup, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

"This changes everything. Larry Dossey has done another masterful job of both meticulously documenting the science at the frontiers of medicine and expanding those frontiers even further. This book reflects the momentous changes in medicine, historically and futuristically. The entire concept of non-local mind is an extension of his previous work in such well-known Dossey classics as Space, Time, and Medicine and Healing Words. His vision of a new era of medicine based on caring, compassion and consciousness will rock your world view. On the other hand you will be reassured that what your intuition has told you all along has a practical application to the care of patients. Prayer, positive intentionality, non-local effects, call it what you may, medicine is being shaped and affected by these forces as never before. The book carries the reader from Era I, which focused on the purely physical aspects of being, to Era II, which embraced body-mind concepts (at least tentatively), to Era III, the non-local mind. This new evolution of the medicine of the whole person is a starship ride to a totally new way of practicing medicine. Climb aboard."

--Victor S. Sierpina, M.D., Associate Professor of Family Medicine, University of Texas Medical Branch
